The first year of a young bat's life is presented through a pleasingly poetic narrative that skillfully incorporates essential bat facts. Realistic close-up colored-pencil and watercolor illustrations showing active bats in outdoor nighttime surroundings and different habitats will draw readers in. A "Bat Basics" page gives additional information about bats and the events described in the story.
